The biggest difference is qanon actually believed that politicians running a pedophile ring was a bad thing. They were just misinformed as to who was running it.
They’re the part of maga that bailed when the first Trump/Epstein files dropped.
This isn’t specifically about qanon and/or MAGA, but there was definitely a subset of conspiracy theorists who saw Epstein revelations and asked what it was a distraction from. It’s pretty crazy to me that they got their holy grail and then decided to doubt it. (Again, not a universal thing.)
We could say the same about MAGAts and Christian Nationalists. All MAGAts are Christian Nationalists. I’m not saying the post should be different nor do I have an immediate idea for an alternative panel though.
No they’re not. Plenty of MAGAts are just monarchists, or think that Trump will fix the USA, without having a specifically Christian ideal. Also a handful of them are Jewish, e.g. Ben Shapiro.

A distinction without a difference

Actually yeah, you’re not wrong. The guy in the photo has since come out in opposition to Trump and Israel, so that’s quite something
The ironic thing is that the Q they were all listening to originally was likely Epstein himself bragging on 4chan.

I don’t think being Jewish means you can’t be a Christian Nationalist.
